CUHK RA position（很适合想申请商学院PHD的同学）

招一位熟悉web- and video-scraping的RA，base香港，薪资包括医保。徐教授是CUHK会计系的助理教授，研究方向为information intermediaries (media and equity analysts), corporate disclosures, and corporate governance。徐教授本人性格也很好，不会让你干一堆没什么关联的杂活，也不是被几个老师一起share的那种RA，你只对徐教授负责汇报，并且对project进行深度跟进（从开题到research design到后期的empirical都有involve）。对以后想读商科PHD的同学应该是一份高质量的RA工作，能让你在申请的时候言之有物。详情请招聘广告，谢谢

Alok Kumar教授现在正式加入这个项目，Alok Kumar (University of Miami) 是BehavioralAsset Pricing 领域的顶尖学者，热衷研究，并且喜欢培养学生。Kumar的研究成果发表在众多国际顶级期刊，看一下他的引用量就知道啦! Google Scholar:https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=p8phiaYAAAAJ&hl=en

由于该RA职位由香港中文大学提供资金支持，所以base在香港（提供工作签证）。如果远程工作可能无法保证薪资，当然如果不介意的同学也欢迎来申请！

友情提醒：商学院的PHD录取和培养方式和理工类的有很大不同，比如招生都是学院统一招生，工资也是由学院统一支付，而不是走教授的funding。建议大家可以稍微了解下这个RA职位是否符合你的预期。
